The most beautiful scenery in Yangshuo is "Shili Gallery". Shili Gallery is located in Moon Mountain, Yangshuo. Because of the beautiful scenery and picturesque scenery along the way, it is called Shili Gallery. Dolphins come out of the water, camels cross the river, beautiful women dress up, Longjiao Mountain, ancient banyan trees, etc. They are all beautiful ... people have anthropomorphic descriptions of mountains, and every vivid landscape has its own name: you see, there is a small and exquisite mountain peak, which is independent and rugged. After ten thousand years of weathering and karst erosion, it looks like a little dolphin jumping out of the water. Beside the workers and peasants bridge on the east side of the gallery, in the endless fields, Tianjiahe meanders eastward like a white satin, and there is a mountain by the river, which looks like a camel strolling across the river. People call her "the camel crossing the river". Gongnong Bridge looks south along the highway. The peak on one side of the Moon Mountain is slender and graceful, just like an oriental beauty wearing long hair and dressing up in front, so it is called "beauty dressing up" ...
Isn't it better to see the scenery than to listen to it? In my opinion, listening to the scenery is really not as good as being there. The early bird has food, and the early bird can wait for the beautiful scenery. When we got up early and came to Shili Gallery to watch the sunrise, several photographers with "long guns and short guns" had already selected their positions in advance and prepared to shoot the sunrise in the gallery. Compared with the sunrise at sea in Sunshine, the sunrise at Shili Gallery seems to be more shy and playful. The shy "Duck Egg Yellow" poked out half of his face from the mountain against the orange glow, and several light gray clouds crossed his face until he slowly climbed to the top of the mountain and turned into an orange-red bright "Duck Egg Yellow" ... I couldn't help laughing at the photographers around me. I don't sleep for a sunrise, a sunset glow and a cloud floating in the mountains, do I?
On second thought, isn't that the state of code words? Almost every article is after busy work during the day, grasping the fleeting inspiration of the night and lighting candles. I don't know when I began to like code words and writing. Although I know it is a hard job, I still devote myself to it. Quiet night, listening to my own voice, knocking on lines of square characters on my mobile phone ... with loneliness and writing, I slowly embarked on the "point of no return" ...

Walking and watching in Shili Gallery, I wanted to bring such beautiful scenery into my bag, but the trip was limited, so I had to say goodbye to her temporarily and reluctantly went to Dongcun.
There are more than a dozen ethnic minorities in Guangxi, such as Zhuang, Dong, Yao, Hui and Miao. Among them, the ethnic customs of the Dong nationality are really extraordinary. The Dong nationality has a population of only over 30 million in China, mainly distributed in Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei and Guangxi. She is the most mysterious ethnic group in Guangxi, and it is a group of "men marry women". Without yourself, communication depends on singing. Will it get better and better after singing for a long time? No wonder Dong people's sister-in-law and eldest brother all sing "Scorpio"!
June 6th is equivalent to the "Valentine's Day" of the Dong people. When Dong girls reach the age of 15, they will be rushed to the mud nest by the old man to feel the adult ceremony of "rolling the mud nest", and then they can fall in love. When a girl gets married, she will be crowned and put on a dress. "Phoenix" is one of the totems of the Dong nationality. Every Dong aunt has a silver comb engraved with the phoenix pattern in her bun. Therefore, the difference between unmarried A-mei and married sister of Dong nationality is that a comb will be inserted in the bun. Boys should bring four or eight kinds of dowry when they get married: a silver comb, two bracelets, a silver bowl and two pairs of silver chopsticks (the man uses solid chopsticks to show sincerity to the woman; The woman uses hollow chopsticks to show that women are tolerant and generous. After marriage, if my sister-in-law gives birth to a girl, the family will be happy; If a boy is born, he will be laughed at for "losing money". When a boy grows up, he must learn two skills before he can "marry" himself: first, he can play silverware and give himself a dowry; Second, I can do carpentry and build wooden houses. As soon as the child was born, Dong Sister-in-law began to plant trees, and then cut down trees to build a house when the child got married.
In Dong nationality, besides the daughter of a family, there is also a "baby" worthy of the pride of the whole family: a centenarian. In this hometown of longevity, as long as you see a cow head hanging on the door frame at home, it means that there are centenarians at home. The more women and old people in the family, the more glorious and respected they are in the stockade. Dong people also have many customs, such as batik is their intangible cultural heritage; March 3rd is the Dong people's Spring Festival, and March 3rd is a folk song. The more people, the more lively. When drinking, you should drink the "high mountain and flowing water" wine that the whole family respects to the guests. In addition, there are several good ways for Dong people to keep healthy: First, scrape with silverware; Second, use silverware to "roll eggs" to detoxify; Third, women wash their hair with fermented rice washing water and keep their hair black and shiny.
After listening to the introduction of the guide's sister-in-law, do you think the Dong people's sister-in-law is "tired and happy"? The eldest sister-in-law here, like living in a matriarchal society, is respected in economic and social production and life and has achieved a leading and dominant position. Of course, there is no need to defend rights, and there will be no "domestic violence." But is it too tiring to be the head of the family and work from home? Girls who are generally too lazy to take care of themselves and don't want to take care of them should really be glad that they are not Dong people!

A colorful introduction to Yangshuo tourism in the hotel attracted a classmate. She found that there was "Yansha air movement Base in Yangshuo" in the colorful pages, so she clamored to take her there to take a glider. All right! We have never had the experience of riding a glider alone. When she asked her mother, she quickly shook her head: "How dare I go through such a high-altitude adventure at my age?" I can take your picture! Put on sun protection clothes and sunglasses ... "

Generally speaking, for people like me who are afraid of heights and have a bad heart, riding a glider is really a great test and challenge. Fortunately, I said that my son has been encouraging me: "Mom, be brave! I am optimistic about you! " When Ge Wei and I were launched into the air in our respective gliders, I immediately closed my eyes nervously. I dare not open my eyes slowly until I feel that the pilot sitting in front of me has been driving the glider smoothly ... I really can't bear to close my eyes for another second, and the landscape in front of me is so shocking: under the blue sky, the emerald mountains are rolling, and the "Tian Zige" where the mountains meet yellow and green forms a magnificent mountain view. Facing the dazzling sunshine in the afternoon, I finally bravely opened my eyes and clearly realized that I was "flying" ... I calmed my sudden heartbeat and began to take a deep breath. My hand on the glider support bar is no longer so tightly supported on the support bar, but I stretch out my arm to feel the roar of the wind. I think, at this time, I am as free as a swallow, flying among the mountains, overlooking the undulating mountains in front of me, as if I could touch the peaks around me with my wings. ...

The beauty of mountainous areas lies not only in mountains and rivers, but also in quiet villages near mountains and rivers, such as "Xanadu". The so-called "Xanadu" is a beautiful village in Yangshuo County. The jasper-curved river surrounds the village like a jade necklace. In addition to rice and corn in season, cash crops such as kumquat, chestnut and grapefruit are also planted in the farmland of the village. The whole village still retains its original appearance. The river is covered with bamboo and trees, the river is like jasper, and the stones and branches at the bottom of the river are clearly visible. The winding and clear river flows to the entrance of the village, and a stone bridge crosses the river, which has become a paradise for children to play in the water. Tonight, foreign tourists and children in our village are playing in the river. Several naughty and bluffing children jumped into the river from the railing of the stone bridge again and again, and the river suddenly splashed with waves, which caused everyone to exclaim. In this way, sitting quietly by the river, looking up can see a green hill, looking down can see a bend of clear water, listening to a group of children playing in the water, which is very good ...
When I come back, I will pass the homestay in the village. A hunchbacked old woman sat in front of her house, with some local products of the village on the small table in front of her. Grandma watched us from a distance, selling her goods. The mother who had already walked over turned back to her grandmother's booth. "How much is a cucumber?" Mom asked. "A dollar, just a few, take it all!" Grandma replied. "That I take four, leave one, you eat at night. Aunt is old this year? " Mom and grandma chat. "90 years old this year, it's a long life! The water and soil here are really moist. " Mom learned to pay by WeChat, and grandma didn't have a mobile phone, so she had to hand in a bill of 100 yuan. Grandma slowly took out a cloth bag from her clothes pocket. While 5 yuan began to give her mother change for 10 yuan, she told us, "This is a cucumber grown in her own field, and there is no pesticide ..." My mother only took the 90 yuan money that Grandma found and refused to let her keep looking for it. Although the mountain people live long, they are still not rich. In our place, old people of this age have long since stopped working, and it is not easy for people in the mountains!

In this majestic mountain of Guangxi, there is still a hardworking nation, that is, the Zhuang nationality. Efforts should be forced by life! Living deep in the mountains, the traffic is inconvenient. The diaojiao building built in the deep mountains is a masterpiece of Zhuang compatriots. Although all the roads into the mountain are now built around the mountain road, winding up along the direction of the mountain, and the road at the foot of the mountain is paved with stone roads, cars can only drive to the foot of the mountain. Climbing the mountain again depends on horses carrying supplies to climb the rugged mountain road.
After parking in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, I booked the proprietress of the hotel-an enthusiastic strong sister-in-law to pick us up with a basket. Looking at her thin and short figure, I never imagined that she would put our scattered luggage in a basket and throw it on her back. While leading the way, she introduced us to the local customs in the stockade. Climbed the mountain in the stockade for more than 20 minutes from bottom to top, and finally arrived at their homestay-a two-story building made of all wood. The first floor is occupied by the host family, and the second floor is full of "viewing rooms". Open the window and get a panoramic view of Longji terraces.
Longji terraced fields are located in the vast mountains of Longsheng county, and the ridges of terraced fields extend infinitely to the horizon, which is very magnificent. When the mountain wind blows you up the terrace step by step, the coolness and comfort will make you mistakenly think that you are walking in the green sea of flowers. Zhuang compatriots rely on mountains to eat mountains. I think that many years ago, the predecessors of the Zhuang compatriots stood in the depths of the mountains and went through hardships to open up this endless terrace. It must be the courage and persistence of "Yu Gong Yi Shan"! Really need to look up! The reclaimed terraced fields can not only grow rice for family consumption, but also turn fertile fields into beautiful scenery, attract tourists and drive economic development, killing two birds with one stone. There are more and more wooden buildings in the stockade, which also reflects the rapid development of tourism here. It turned out that the ordinary diaojiao building was not enough, so powerful families tried to transform it into a homestay with Zhuang characteristics.
Of course, in the stockade, I also saw an 80-year-old grandmother hunched over and carrying baskets and firewood up and down the mountain; Seeing the horse carrying bricks up the mountain, the travel-stained Zhuang teenagers; Seeing that the old man is unwilling to eat his own earth eggs, he sells the hot eggs baked by the stove to tourists who go up the mountain, and there are 2 yuan for 5 yuan; At 6 o'clock in the morning, I opened the curtain and saw my uncle and aunt bending over and busy on the opposite terrace. ...
Really want to return! Finally, the students got their wish, put the simple luggage in the basket and carried it down the mountain. Xiong Haizi, who likes rural life, said, "Mom, can we come again? I also want to catch fish in the stream at the foot of the mountain, I want to catch my sister-in-law's rooster again, and I want to mention my basket again ... "? Yes, this trip is not only a trip to release the mind, but also an exercise of body and will. Under the scorching sun in August, I shuttle between several scenic spots and cities every day, recording what I see and think with words and taking beautiful moments with pictures. My body and mind have been on the road. Guangxi, if possible, we want to come again. ...
